Francois Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay 2013
The Francois Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay is an appealing mid yellow colour. The nose is quite floral, with some mineral notes too. There is soft lemon and lemon peel, hints of cream and vanilla. The citrus fruits and lemon are well defined, with slight grapefruit and apple notes mixing well with delicate oak. The palate is rich and unctuous but with good taught acidity and lovely balance. The wine is full bodied, but not flabby. The finish is lingering and complex with refreshing zing and buttery weight.
